More teams to pull out for season 2008?

[Aldo Serena]

Following on from DiCanio's 'Chilean' topic, how many more teams will fold next year:

- Intamba pulled out of Div 5 before the season started
- Central City Tigers have pulled out of the Reserves in Div 4
- Maiwand forfeited their Reserves last week (and maybe this week as well judging by the 2-0 loss to Greenock)
- Chilean have forfeited twice in the last three weeks
- Adelaide Buffers in Sat Div 3 have been pounded a few times

Also, there has be
It is not a good sign for the SAASL - the way it stands they will be struggling to fill 5 x 10 team First Team & Reserves Leagues on Sundays!

not good at all.
how many clubs over the years have made the switch to saturday from sunday?
ad villa, modbury jets, cove?

also with the pulling out of strong sunday clubs in the last couple years such as NAB, limnos, fields etc

[Furburger]

Look at the positives... At least the ratio of refs to games will improve. Plus MAIWAND not being around anymore can only be good

Buffers dropped out of Saturday Div 3. In fact, the only reason that Saturday div 3 is still around is probably due to the numbers at Adelaide Uni, Flinders and Old Ignatians - all are running their C/D sides as first team and reserves. Also for some reason the SAASL put Munno Para C2 in Division 3 as a one team only instead of putting them in Division 4 (which is the C League/1 team league - there are a few 'one team' clubs in this division). Otherwise, we might have seen two 12 team Divisions 1 and 2.

the amateur league will still make their $556,978 profit for the year.

wake up and smell the shoe polish.

[INTERISTA]

this can also be a gd thing as the weaker teams pull out only the strong ones remain making for a better league with fierce competition
